National Pears Helene Day

National Pears Hélène Day is a food holiday in France that honors the delectable, smooth French dessert starring warm poached pears, vanilla ice cream, and chocolate sauce.

ert made from pears poached in sugar syrup and served with vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, and crystallized violets. Chef Auguste Escoffier of France created the dessert in honor of the operetta La belle Hélène by Jacques Offenbach around 1864.

Over time, simpler Pears Hélène versions have been created by substituting poached pears with canned pears, and delicate crystallized violets have been substituted with sliced almonds. More cooks will be able to make this must-have dessert thanks to these updates.
